The Guelph Bus Terminal, was the main intercity bus station in Guelph, Ontario until May 2012, when it was replaced by Guelph Central Station.
Operators using the terminal included Aboutown, GO Transit and Greyhound. Coach Canada also served the station until early 2010.
Guelph Transit local bus services stopped nearby at St. George's Square.
The original terminal at 141 MacDonell Street was torn down in 2011 to make way for Guelph Central Station, which would consolidate intercity bus, local bus and railway services into one location. A temporary intercity bus terminal was provided at 17 Wyndham St South during the construction period.
